Data strategy
A data strategy you can actually execute
Most data strategies end as a slide deck. Ours end as a prioritised roadmap with owners and a first wave of data products. We connect business ambition to the capabilities, operating model and platforms needed to get there.
In short
A data strategy you can execute: ambition, capabilities, operating model and a prioritised roadmap of data products. Senior-led data consulting by ThinkEOS.
Typical results:
- Data ambition and outcome framework
- Capability assessment and gap analysis
- Target operating model with roles and decision rights
How to start: a free 30-minute intro call with a senior consultant, then a short assessment.
Sounds familiar?
- Data initiatives are spread across departments without a shared direction.
- The board asks for AI, but nobody can say which data is ready for it.
- Platforms were chosen before the questions they should answer.
- Governance, BI and data engineering each have their own roadmap.
What we do
- Translate business goals into a data ambition and a small set of measurable outcomes.
- Assess current capabilities across people, organisation, processes, information and technology (the POPIT model).
- Design the target operating model: data owners, data stewards, data product owners and a governance forum with clear decision rights.
- Make platform and tooling choices explicit, from SAP and Microsoft to Databricks and Collibra, based on what the data products need.
- Build a prioritised roadmap of data products and enablers, with a first wave you can start right away.
What you get
- Data ambition and outcome framework
- Capability assessment and gap analysis
- Target operating model with roles and decision rights
- Prioritised roadmap with the first wave of data products
Why ThinkEOS for data strategy
ThinkEOS has seen data strategy from both sides: as consultants, and as application owners and product owners inside large organisations that had to execute it. That is why our roadmaps start small, name owners and connect every step to a data product someone will use.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a data strategy take?
It depends on the scope. We agree scope and timing with you after the intro call, and we aim for a first wave of work that can start while the strategy is being finalised.
Do you also help with execution?
Yes. After the strategy we can take roles in execution, such as data product owner or governance lead, or support your team while it delivers the roadmap.
Is this only for large organisations?
No. The approach scales. What matters is a clear business question and people willing to own the data behind it.
